          I've been thinking about a half sleeve tattoo for quite a few years now, and I think that this is the year to finally nail down my design - it's still evolving, but 2 of the details that I'm sure about are that it will be Japanese, and contain a phoenix.

          The undecided bits are

          • full colour, splashes of colour or just black and grey
          • should I incorporate my only other tattoo, Scottish Clan badge (family crest) on my right shoulder, (which is approximately 20yrs old and looking in need of a refresh), or not?
          • artist, although I've got a couple of recommendations from friends of good London based artists I've not yet been to talk to any

            Full color and please keep your old tattoo 🙂
            If you have the chance to get something in London, well, agony of choice 😃

              You're probably right, and I wasn't intending to cover up the old tattoo (should get a picture and put it up really), but wondered if it could be incorporated as part of the new one, although that may well prove too tricky. Either way the old one will need some remedial work to freshen it up as I was a bit thinner when it was done, hence some of the lettering is a bit blurry now 🙂

                Keep your old tattoo as that sounds really special to you and IMO splashes of colour. My tattoo artist wanted to do mine just black and grey but I eventually went for a little colour and glad I did

                    Beautiful work. Must've hurt like a bitch in your inner arm. That was my least favorite spot to be tattooed, thus far.

                          Dude if your based in London:

                          • Horikitsune (Horiyoshi III apprentice)
                          • ian Flower
                          • Stewart Robson; or
                          • wait until the London comvention this year (thats what i did previously, as the following are normally there)….. horitaka, horitomo, shige, horiken, jill Bonny, horitoshi.... The list goes on.

                          Im also bassd in London and i collect books on japanese tattooing. Youre more than welcome to have a look at them.  The one thing i will say is that pheonix tattoos are typically both large and intiecate and your existing tattoo may interfere with the design.

                          Also, i would go black and grey personally, but thats just me!

                            Definitely jealous of you folks who have access to quality local artists. We have "tattoo artists" in town, but I'm not super keen on dodgy looking jail tattoos. [emoji15]

                                    Hey Theo. I met Bob Tyrell at an Iron Maiden concert in Toronto one year. Totally by accident. I walked by him and told my buddy that he looked familiar but couldnt figure out who he was. By the time we walked back i remembered and went and said hi. Super nice guy and very talented
